E282: Cannot read from "c:\users\username\appdata\local\nvim\init.vim"

[HiloCoder]

I am using VSCode-NeoVim plugin with neovim 0.9.5 on Windows 11. I would like to use an init.lua file, which is in the directory where VSCode-NeoVim is trying to read the init.vim. The init.lua file works fine when launching nvim.exe and nvm-qt.exe. I don't see any setting in VSCode-NeoVim to specify that I want to use init.lua. Does it only work with init.vim?

You can omit the configuration path option, or point it directly to the Lua file.

How? The only path option in the plugin settings is "Neovim Init Vim Paths: Win32" which does not work at all. Regardless what is entered in that setting yields the same error.

Remove this option.

I don't use that setting because it doesn't work. It is blank. Same error.
